I also informed him, that I had about me what would abundantly repay him for his trouble -- an argument which I found he more readily understood, and much more weighty in his mind than any other; for he immediately entwisted his fingers with mine, to show me that, from that moment, we became closely united, and upon the spot desired me to give him the effects of which I had spoken. ❋ Pierre Raymond De Brisson (N/A)
